One of my favorite things

I always get a kick out of seeing generations side my side. I encountered these three at an event at Casa de Esperanza Community Center. Here are Marguerite, Marcia and Michael. If you click on the photo you will see how they look remarkably alike. Michael reports that he is a grandfather and therefore there are 5 generations.

Az State Legislature

Arizona Daily Star April 9, 2010

Page 1 "Concealed Guns with no permits nearly OK...Await Gov's likely signature."

Page 2 "Shooting victim found dead in Foothill neighborhood."

This is my opinion of our Arizona Legislature.

A new old restaurant

I love it when I find a new old restaurant.

Friend came to town and asked us to go the El Torero because it had been mentioned to her to have been great during college days at the U of A.

With the magic of the Internet and google we found the address and website information and indeed it still existed.

A family Mexican restaurant, El Torero has been open since 1956 in South Tucson.

Set back from the corner of 26th and 4th Ave it still maybe hard to find the screaming pink building. But the food is worth it. This is not Tex/Mex but hearty family cooked Mexican food.
The ambiance is spare furniture and funky wall hangings.

President Clinton and Madeline Albright were seen eating at El Nindito, also in South Tucson. When Ethan and Joel Cohen come to Tucson, they go to El Torero for their Mexican food experience.

This fact alone tells you a lot about how these two restaurants differ.

Champion Cactus

One sunny morning, this cactus has 16 blossoms. A happy pink that greets the passer by.

Happy Easter

Whatever your beliefs, may you take the bridge over all difficulties

and walk the path of serenity.

Unique among the wildflowers

Most of the year

it's not seen.

Then in the spring,

an inconspicuous part

of the desert landscape,

comes alive

in pinkish puffs,

formed by numerous

pink stamens.

Fairy Duster is the

name. One can imagine a

little fairy dusting the desert

landscape.

From afar and close up, we can see

where this desert shrub gets its name.

Water in the canyon

Why destroy this beauty with another mine?
